I did think that as well initially, but the `user_mention` email didn’t stack up. I was wondering if these older posts were imported ones from a migration to Discourse? You shouldn’t get a mention notification a second time for the same post, but if a record of it wasn’t created during a migration somehow then perhaps it would think it was the first time on the category move?
